Question about support for PDF Portfolios
I understand that full support for Portfolios is due in the future.
I have been able to detect if a PDF is a Collection, and this seems to be
true for files I know to be Portfolios.
Is there support or a workaround to be able to determine what files are
inside a Portfolio? I do not want to create such a file, only read and
extract the contents from it or them.
Thanks.

There is also the ExtractEmbeddedFiles.java sample in the pdfbox-examples package which will do the extraction and provide a start for further customization.

Thanks, I was able to use the code in the ExtractEmbeddedFiles sample to
read the individual PDFs that make up a Portfolio document.

Thanks. I'll look at that program.

the Information about the Collection itself can be found in
Root/Collection.
The files being part of such collection are in
Root/Names/EmbeddedFiles/Names
The easiest would be to open a sample PDF with the PDFDebugger and browse through the structure.
